I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 254

"It's me who can't say it, Professor Ogura. I have put in enough effort to complete the topic you asked me to do. Do you know how many reference materials I went through before I dared to give it to you for review?"

Li Yan thought with fear.

"Well, it's almost time for get out of class to end, but before get out of class ends, I have to say something to all the students outside of class."

Professor Ogura Kenichi withdrew his gaze, looked at the densely packed physical formulas and analysis diagrams on the blackboard after the class, and asked: "You are all outstanding students who stand out from thousands of students. I am very grateful to you for your future." There are high expectations in academics and work. In Japan, the United States, and Europe, physics is beginning to fade away, and the enthusiasm for science is not as real as finance and stocks. This is something I am very worried about. Phenomenon, human progress, and the power of finance have contributed a lot, but what drives mankind to prosperity is essentially physics. We need to understand the nature of the world in order to truly discover the gifts the world has given us."

"So, I recently received invitations from the principals of several high schools. Next week, I plan to select a few students to go with me to several high schools across Japan to help me promote the beauty of physics. This one I have already communicated with the school and obtained consent. Now I would like to ask, is there anyone who volunteers to assist me in speaking engagements at nearby senior high schools?"

"..."

Suddenly, the whole class fell into silence, and no one raised their hand.

After all, students who have studied with this devilish tutor for more than a month all know that being around Professor Ogura is almost a kind of torture. Even though such outings will get corresponding credits, no one wants to do so with that kind of outing. I had to travel and work hard with this devilish tutor for the whole week, and I was always under heavy study pressure.

Not a single student took the initiative to raise his hand. They looked at each other one after another, or pretended to read the book carefully and did not hear the professor's question.

"Um...Professor, you are just joking. There is absolutely no one planning to go with him, and he said he had to volunteer..." Hagimura Suzu said in a low voice to Li Yan beside her with a bitter look on her face.

"Professor Ogura seems to be in a good mood recently because his precious high school daughter's relationship with a boy ended up in vain, and he suddenly thought of promoting the beauty of physics throughout Japan... And publicity is publicity, but physics is publicity. There are also many people who can't get into the world of these boring formulas." Li Yan nodded and responded in a low voice.

A group of students were whispering. Suddenly, Professor Ogura immediately focused his attention on Li Yan and the top of Hagimura, who was about to be overwhelmed by the students in front of him. With thoughtful eyes, he directly named him and said: "Li, Hagimura , you two look very interested, it’s just the two of you, and then there will be two more people together.”

"Eh?" Li Yan and Hagimura Suzu were shocked and looked at the professor.

“Ahhhh——!!”

Li Yan and Hagimura Suzu suddenly turned blue and screamed secretly, their whole bodies shaking like scared kittens.

Next, the entire classroom fell into dead silence, and the students held their breaths. There were two more "victims"... who were not selected by this demon professor in Tokyo...

After class, Hagimura Suzu and Li Yan, who looked confused, stayed with a male and a female classmate. The classmates who escaped behind were chatting and laughing, talking about playing ball, shopping, and other entertainment. The topic of the activity gradually faded away, and these words felt so painful in the ears of the four students.

"We will start going out for activities around next Monday. You may think it sounds strange. Such activities are usually lecture tours carried out by graduate tutors and their graduate students. However, my teaching You all know the style. Don’t think that because you are just undergraduate students, you think that academics have nothing to do with you for the time being. One of the departments that Tokyo University is most proud of is the Department of Physics. You are the latecomers to the University of Tokyo’s honors and are the world’s leading physics department. As future members of the academic community, I have the responsibility and obligation to meet the standards of graduate students."

The white-haired Professor Ogura looked at them and said to the four of them coldly.

"is teacher……"

Four students responded.

"Science is not only an academic issue, but also an attitude issue. Therefore, during the admission interview, several other professors and I asked you to test a slightly complicated question. You are not required to be able to do that question. It’s about how many points you get in the test, but how you deal with academic problems and your abilities are questioned. I am satisfied with your ability to stay here and your attitude towards science and abilities. This The same is true for a publicity work. I hope you can understand clearly why we should love physics. You have to work hard next. Before next Monday, I will tell you the gathering time."

Ogura Kenichi stared at them with his superbly radiant eyes, and began to explain the purpose of the entrance exam, and continued with some earnest instruction.

"As expected, that question originally had a knowledge scope beyond the high school textbooks..." Hagimura Suzu thought to herself.

"is teacher."

All students can feel from him that this seemingly old-fashioned Japanese man has an aura of pursuing physics for the future of mankind and sincerely loving this science. But it is such an aura that makes people admire, but also makes people feel that it is too strict and fearful.

Just as the four-person team dispersed, Ogura Kenichi thought for a while, looked at the back of Li Yan who left with Hagimura Suzu, and said: "Li, you stay, I have something else to ask you."

"!!" Li Yan suddenly felt a chill in his back. He originally thought that this was bad enough, but this professor actually wanted to find him, which made him feel a little uneasy.

"Yes, teacher..." Li Yan turned around helplessly, looked at Ogura Kenichi and said.

"I'm leaving first." Hagimura Suzu waved to Li Yan and whispered.

As a result, the quiet classroom seemed even more empty and quiet.

This professor, who was thin and slightly tall and wore a traditional suit, came over, took out his paper, and asked: "Li, do you know why I stopped you?"

"...I don't know, teacher." Li Yan trembled in his heart and replied.

It should be said that there is nothing wrong with the thesis he wrote. After all, although Professor Ogura has extremely strict classroom requirements, the topics assigned do not exceed the scope of undergraduate textbooks. He is very focused on allowing students to lay a solid foundation in college physics, so students are slightly You can still handle it if you pay more attention.

"It feels like you are used to writing papers before. Among all the students' paper descriptions, your paper description is almost the most professional, as if you have written a paper before, and your explanation of the problem is also the most complete and rigorous. Yes, it surprised me."

Ogura Kenichi took out Li Yan's paper, looked at it carefully with his wrinkled eyes, and said.

"Forehead……"

Li Yan was stunned for a moment and blinked. He originally thought he would be left with a scolding, but who knew it was actually a compliment, and he suddenly became enlightened as if the clouds were clearing and the sun appeared.

After all, when Li Yan was studying in the Department of Chemistry, he began to participate in laboratory activities and write papers. Although the quality of the previous papers was not very high, he could get a scholarship during the school selection, so during that period he Really study hard and study hard.

"I wrote a little bit in the past, but it was about chemistry knowledge. I was very scared to be praised by the teacher." Li Yan stood up straighter and said politely.

"Ah, if you have merit, you should praise it, but... what's going on with this paper of yours? Do you plan to use this kind of thing to perfunctory your teacher?" Ogura Kenichi patted the more than ten pages of the paper. , stared at him with a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle, and asked.

"..."

Li Yan's original joy suddenly disappeared, and he knew that leaving him behind would not do anything good.

"You did put some thought into this paper and the writing was pretty good, but it was far worse than what Hagimura had written. I can completely see the difference in intention between the two of you. You were just handing me your homework. What should I do? It's time for you to give me homework, and I was looking forward to it, but when I saw that you could do the same as that time, you put on that stinky face that you were planning to retaliate against me, and wrote a solution to the problem that I didn't expect. Thoughts, you handed me an assignment, and you will never be allowed to make such a mistake next time."

Ogura Kenichi put away the paper that he had marked with many comments, his eyes became a little colder, and he scolded.

"Yes...teacher." Li Yan nodded in agreement as he was about to catch a cold.

"Also, I heard that the subjects you applied for in other universities were finance and economics, so I decided to apply for the science major at Tokyo University. These conversations are not considered for any credit. As your teacher, I I just want to understand the students I value, Li, where do you put your mind? Do you really like finance stuff? Is it more interesting than physics?"

Professor Ogura Kenichi suddenly changed the subject and asked Li Yan about his past ambition choices, which surprised Li Yan.

I probably heard this information from Hagimura Suzu.

Professor Ogura is quite famous for being strict at the University of Tokyo. However, he is also caring towards the students he teaches. He is not the kind of professor who abuses his power to put pressure on students to study. He tries his best to be strict while teaching. Students remained interested in physics, although his classes punished minor mistakes far more harshly than other instructors.

Even Suzu Hagimura, the student with the top score in admission, was once reprimanded and punished in public because she accidentally mispronounced a word when explaining a physics concept. The time spent on that punished copying lasted a week for her classmates. I didn't even see her come out of the girls' dormitory.

"Teacher... To be honest, I am more interested in physics, so enrolling in the Physics Department of the University of Tokyo was the only choice I made. But I need money, a lot of money to protect my family. This is caused by my family problems. This is what I originally wanted. I am really sorry for your concern and guidance." Li Yan was silent for a while and answered truthfully.

"That's it...it's a reasonable thing. But, Li, money is never the most important pursuit in life. It may be indispensable. People can't do without material supplies. However, people are strange creatures. You have to Understand one thing, that is, what is the meaning of life? All the accomplished scientists and scholars I know have clear answers. After observing for so long, I can see your confusion. You are still an undergraduate. In the future, when you study for a monk or a doctorate, you still have a lot of time to think about it. If you achieve success in the future, the problem of money will not be an issue. Don't give up your long-term self for the current difficulties, do you understand?"

Ogura Kenichi looked at him seriously and asked.

"..." Li Yan fell silent for a long time, his eyes slightly dimmed.

"Okay, don't hand me something like this next time, and write more carefully. Maybe the paper you write can be published in a scientific magazine. It will be a lot of help in applying for a master's degree in the future..." Ogura Kenichi softened his tone, babbled a little, and said.

"Teacher, I have not considered becoming a monk. I have to go out into the society and make money quickly..." Li Yan was a little stunned and reminded.

"What did you say?" Ogura Ken stared at him and asked.

"No, it's nothing... I will work hard." Li Yan turned pale, bowed to his mentor, and hurried away without saying anything else.

"...This brat."
